Extremely Rare - Hillwood Blue Comets 73

Vintage Analog Synthesizer

Described in a reverb article as Japan’s first analog synthesizer. It looks as though only one of these has ever been sold on reverb, and that transaction was over 5 years ago.


Synth powers on. Makes noises, all sliders move without issue, same with potentiometers and rocker switches switch on and off without any issues.


Side cheeks missing. face of synth will need restoration — has been sprayed with primer on front. Hardware screws for top faceplate also missing.


Synth makes noises and keys trigger. Will need a tech once over to check everything out.


Because of its age and my lack of knowledge on the specifics of this synthesizer, this is being sold as is.


Will ship well packed via UPS mail.
